Ammonoidea: April 2012
http://ammonoidea.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Along the lines of reverting to aquatic dinosaurs as has been seen in the geoblogosphere. Of late, I give you Duria Antiquior (above), and it's lithographic byproduct (below). Floating on the surface of the water are ammonites with wings (or sails as conjectured some). Clearly showing that ammonites could fly. A lot of science has been done since the art above was first seen. Back then about the only creature known to compare the ammonites to was the Argonaut.

Ammonoidea: Basal Triassic Conglomerate
http://ammonoidea.blogspot.com/2015/05/basal-triassic-conglomerate.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. The Permian-Triassic boundary in central and southern Utah is marked with Conglomerates. Some are probably Permian, those deep in paleo channels, and some are earliest Triassic, those mixed in with the sand and silt at the base of the Black Dragon Formation red beds. In the East, there is a nice outcrop in Black Dragon Canyon coming off the San Rafael Swell. Close-up of conglomerate in Black Dragon Canyon. Close-up of conglomerate at the Minersville section. Down in southern Utah, t...

Ammonoidea: April 2014
http://ammonoidea.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 3, 2014. Types on loan from USNM to NHMU. After a request to the US National Museum, they sent the first of three loans of Type Specimens to the Natural History Museum of Utah. Types are the specimens used to compare to other specimens to verify the others are typical of the type. Syntypes are usually from a series of types where neither a Holotype or Lectotype have been designated. Syntype of Wyomingites aplanatus. Holotype for Danubites strongi. Hyatt and Smith 1905. Paperwork in the box.

Ammonoidea: July 2012
http://ammonoidea.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 9, 2012. Tozer, 1994, in his monograph of Canadian Triassic Ammonoids, discussed the differences between Population Taxonomy and Typological Taxonomy and admitted that his classification, especially of the Prionitidae, was arbitrary, and to use a strictly typological taxonomy would mean almost every specimen was a seperate species. He also talked about using the typological method just to show what the taxon looked like. For references see THIS. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
